Unnatural Intent - Brooke L. French

"Unnatural Intent is like Michael Crichton's State of Fear meets Michael Connelly's The Rapture of the Deep." -Cam Torrens, award-winning author of Stable and False Summit

The last one they sent didn't come back.

Disease ecologist Letty Duquesne is barely settled in to her new job when a colleague goes missing in the field. When Letty lands in Alaska's Katmai National Park to take over the investigation, she finds a violent welcome and the case in shambles. No record of the last scientist's work exists. His footsteps at the incident site disappear into nothing. And the polar bears Letty has been sent to find are hunting for human prey a thousand miles from the pack ice where they belong.

If Letty can't figure out why, more people will die. An unimaginable threat lurks under the icy waters of the Arctic, animals stalk the people of a tiny seaside village, and the greatest danger waits where Letty least expects it.
